February 23, 20179 yr In these old Thai buildings u can have a room for 3500. So why you guys pay 10000 baht when you can have all for 3 times less. There is even a swimming pool, 711 and a Tesco. Watch this video

It is on Thepprasit Road few hundred metres from Sukhumvit Road. The weekend market sets up out front there every Friday/Saturday. Can't remember the name.
February 23, 20179 yr Yes the condo is located next to the night market. Some time ago I did have a look at some of the rooms with western standard , and the prices were a bit more, around 5-6000 baht . So it depends what your looking for , just a room and a bed with air-con I guess is possible for 3500.
February 23, 20179 yr I know a Thai lady who lives in that building with her son. She bought a small unit a couple of years ago and she showed it to me whilst the purchase was going through. Seemed OK for the price though I would not like to navigate through the traffic with a car on market evenings. OK in daytime and on non-market evenings though, and highly convenient on foot for Tesco or the market itself. And BigC is only a short walk. Also handy for buses etc on Sukumvit.
February 23, 20179 yr I see that Supalai Mare on Theprasit now has a sign up promoting rentals from 7000B per month. I dont know the details but that's a brand new building and only walking distance to Thappraya Road. Music noise might be a problem at night.
February 23, 20179 yr For me, a horrible location. You can get similar in Central Pattaya easy enough.

February 24, 20179 yr Aren't these the ones built for poor Thai people by the National Housebuilding Authority that were being sold off under a dubious deal by a certain dodgy Pattaya 'entrepreneur' cum 'media magnate' cum 'lawyer' who has now fled Thailand due to an arrest warrant being issued. Seem to remember there was a lot of noize about this a few years back.

February 25, 20179 yr Officially it's called KEHA Condo and it's a former social housing project which was built approx. 30 years ago. Most of the units have been sold now and are being occupied by foreigners or Bangkokian weekend-dwellers. Yes, a 24-26m2 studio will go for 3,500 baht, but there are a lot more opportunities in Pattaya for that amount. An indication/example of a recent sales of a 52m2 condo in building B THB 1.2mn

No more noise from him;-) Are you saying he was assassinated at the airport by a woman with a toxin on her hands, rubbing his face? or has he returned to his law practice in the USA? It was always funny yet sad reading about people getting legal advice from this individual... As for the low end housing available, yes, for sure, in the 3000-4000 Baht a month price range there are many apartments and even condos available. You won't always have water or electricity but I suppose you get used to that and can prepare with a pale of water and a rechargable battery type of fan. Some live in these conditions year round. Others prefer to pay 8000-10,000. Baht and have dependable water, electric, and even WIFI! Cheers and God Bless You.
February 25, 20179 yr Author It s an amazing place. You have everything you need around , tennis, pool, shops, Tesco, big c, 711, night market, parking, restaurant, bus to airport, beach, bus baht,...

You must admit these are in a much better quality and quieter area than that of yours.

February 25, 20179 yr Does that cheap room allow my 4 dogs and also have parking for my car, my pickup, my work car and my 2 scooters and CRF250 ? There's a reason why cheap rooms are no good for some people !!
February 25, 20179 yr Author You can park a camping car. Or roller skate on the parking. Many people play on this parking at night. And it's free.

February 25, 20179 yr When I was working in Jomtien for 1 year, about 8 years ago, I stayed in those types of rented rooms. I recall that I paid no more than 4,000 baht per month for a room with basic furnishings, TV with foreign channels, air-con, free wi-fi etc. The price is low because the room is basic, and it is only 1 small room. I think you'd go a bit stir crazy living in that small space for a long time, (although many Thais seem to manage OK)
February 25, 20179 yr I see that Supalai Mare on Theprasit now has a sign up promoting rentals from 7000B per month. I dont know the details but that's a brand new building and only walking distance to Thappraya Road. Music noise might be a problem at night.Looks a nice building from what I've seen posted by people on Facebook. Does anyone know if this place has a website or Facebook site for these type of rentals?Sent from my SM-G800F using Thaivisa Connect mobile app
February 25, 20179 yr Friend of mine used to live there. Not a place I would choose to live. Small noisy and shabby.

Have some self esteem for christ sake Some of you guys must have had a very privileged upbringing if you think that a condo with pool and tennis courts is comparable to a trailer park, the pits (lowest form of living), or a hovel (peasant home). Just saying
